Costco Recalls 80,000 Pounds of Butter Over Missing Milk Disclaimer

Nearly 80,000 pounds of Kirkland-brand butter sold at Costco has been recalled due to missing allergen labeling for milk, an obvious ingredient in butter. The recall, initiated by Continental Dairy Facilities Southwest LLC, affects both salted and unsalted versions distributed in Texas. The FDA classifies this as a "Class II" recall, indicating low risk of serious health consequences. Despite the apparent obviousness, FDA regulations require clear labeling of major allergens to protect consumers with severe allergies.
